British Comment.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Times while ad-
mitting that juries, judges and Governor Of
Illinois showed commendable frmness
In the case Of the Anarchists, says it cannot
altogether praise the celebrity or certainty Of
punishment In America. The feature special
Iy striking TO Englishmen Is the sternness of
Americans In repressing offences against
law and order. 1t may suggest TO Gladstone
and his friends whether there Is anything so
essentially Incompatible with the liberty Of
subjects in the methods, in many respects
wilder, which are the objects Of their Vehe-
ment denuneiati0n.
The Morning Post comments on on the ex-
ecutions, and finds parallel between the
deeds Of the Chicago Anarchists and the at
tempts in ireland and London to rule by
mob law. Yesterdays execution Is lesson
by which English Radicals may profit.
The Daily Chronicle says: I'VE believe
we represent the general sentiment when we
say the civilized world will breathe sigh of
relief, that now, at last, the penalty Of the
law has been visited on these red-handed
criminals"
